I forgot to mention that this works on one Solaris box I'm trying but not on
the other. They are both Solaris version 2.8.
Hi,
I'm trying to get a solaris box logon screen to run via xwin using the
following command:
xwin -query remotehostName -from localhostName -fp tcp/remotehostName:7100
I didn't diff the sources, but it sounds like XWin was never using the
timeout parameter to -emulate3buttons until this typo was
fixed.
Worse than that - XWin was ignoring the parameter and also the default
50ms and setting the timeout to 1 millisecond.
In any case, even if it is a bug, I
Hello all, thanks for listening,
I have a problem starting/working in Xfree under
cygwin. I installed Xfree manually some time ago and
figured that it would be easier maintaining it under
the setup.exe by cygwin. I uninstalled X and
proceeded to install it from scratch with the cygwin
utility
I was told I was doing it wrong, i.e.
You're not supposed to launch startxwin.bat from a Cygwin prompt, you are
supposed to double-click the batch file from Windows Explorer or you can
launch startxwin.bat from a Windows command prompt (not a Cygwin command
prompt).

To keep you updated,
Isn't this just another case of xterm not working in recent releases
(permission denied). Seems to be something to do with /etc/passwd not
having an entry for you user name and only seems to be a problem on
NT/Win2k ( XP?) which have better security. Look back at the last few
days posts. I've

problem.
Next, I tried Florimon's advice. I was slightly confused, so I may have

that setup. So, I tried to see who I am

OK, I changed strategy a little bit. I started working down the startx path.
I moved the .xinitrc to my home and ran
startx from the bash prompt. It then complained of no .XAuthority file. I
googled a bit, and found a reference to
an empty file being OK. So I created one. This led to some

This is a problem, possibly in addition to my sub-moronic

FYI,
If you know your login id and account (and you probably do, because
you use it every day), you can reduce the time and resulting passwd
file size by using the correct parameters to mkpasswd:
mkpasswd -u {username} -d {domainname} /etc/passwd

None. Cygwin/XFree86 doesn't get an error, only xterm does.
Do you think you could do a

This has worked perfectly. Thank you very much. I am thinking it could
go into the instalation instructions as I don't recall seeing it anywhere.
